an excellent example of what irredeemable assholes liberals are,

greatest lasting threat to peace and democratic values the world
has known.]
I’m confused. If Beinart says that liberals have lost the world
because of their intense squishiness, how is liberalism the prime
threat? Isn’t Beinartism a greater threat?
